Chapter I. Introduction
Section 1.01 General Information
The 4900 Commander is a control system developed by R. STAHL TRANBERG AS.
R. STAHL TRANBERG has a long history of designing and manufacturing navigation
lights controllers for medium sized and large vessels. The traditional design principle
has been a direct control of each channel, meaning that the cable for each individual
lantern needs to be laid from the lantern to the actual controller. This is both a costly
and challenging task.
The Commander has been developed with greater flexibility in mind, and in particular
with the objective to avoid pulling each lantern cable into the bridge. The concept is
therefore based upon the industry-proven RS-485 network with a number of nodes
connected to this.
A node may in this respect be a control panel, a relay output module, the master CPU
and more. Each node is given a unique address and the corresponding action between
a single button and the panel is defined in the configuration of the system.
